Female Novel
Chapter 2140
The afternoon seemed to fly past, and in the blink of an eye, work had already ended. Even so, Cindywas not in a hurry to leave.
She took out a paper and pencil before selecting a random folder among the themed ones that Serenahad handed her not too long ago so she could attempt another sketch.
Her peers were already filing out the door, and Serena, being the last one to get to the entrance afterworking hours had ended, suddenly noticed Cindy at her desk. She walked over in surprise and asked,"What are you still doing here? Work has ended."
"Oh," Cindy muttered distractedly. "I just have this one sketch I want to get done and over with before Ileave."
Serena glanced at the rough sketch, and after a moment of thought, she drew out a book from her totebag and said, "I saw from your last few sketches that you tend to mismatch colors, but this book shouldhelp you understand the concept better. Take a look at it while you're free." novelbin
Cindy was stunned by her offer, and she quickly took the book as she said, "Thank you, Miss Warhol."
Serena probably had plans for later, so she turned and left the office after exchanging a few morepleasantries with Cindy.
Having placed the book into her bag, Cindy went back to complete the sketch. It was only a rough one,and when she was satisfied with it, she packed up her things and left the company. She could havedone the sketch at home since it was so quiet back there, but the homebody side of her associated theapartment with rest, and it was only when she was in the company that she could really hunker down
and work.
She hailed a taxi home, and upon her return, she found that the apartment was empty; Aurora wasprobably at work again.
Cindy made a simple dinner for herself. After that, she sat on the couch and watched a bit of television.She would have relished moments like this had this been old times, but now, she found herself thinkingabout a certain someone more often than she cared to admit.
She fished out her phone and texted Ian. Feeling decidedly sentimental, she typed out the words,'Missing you'.
She wasn't sure if things were busy on Ian's end and if he would see her text at all, but either way, shefelt much better after hitting send.
Even if she and Ian acted like an old married couple on most days, some feelings were better offexpressed than pent up. She liked little moments like this where she could word out her emotions andlet him know about them.
Now that she had considerably brightened up, she set her phone aside and continued watchingtelevision.
Ian still hadn't replied to her even after an episode of the variety show had ended. Since she did notwant to wait for a response any longer, she headed into the room to wash up. Then, she tried to tweakthe sketch she had drawn before she left work earlier.
However, not much tweaking was done; the framework for the design was already set, and there was
no changing the way she had drawn the sketch. As such, she tried to tweak it as much as she possiblycould. Soon, she slipped it back into the folder and took out the book Serena had given her.
She had only just flipped through the first two pages when Ian called.
Presently, he had just finished filming on set, and he was walking back to the hotel. There was no oneelse with him, so he told her about what happened last night. "I asked for the identity of the person whohad come knocking on my room door, and the security let me see a photo of the person. I've never mether before, but apparently, she's a fan. Nonetheless, that remains to be verified."
Cindy frowned. "Did she explain why she was knocking on your door?"
Ian let out a slow breath and explained, "The security told me that she was supposedly desperate tosee me, so she knocked on my bedroom door to get my attention."
However, he wasn't really convinced by that excuse. If she really wanted to see him, it wouldn't havemade sense for her to run away right after she had knocked on the door. She didn't even bother waitingfor him to answer it so she could meet him face to face.
More importantly, she had returned after the first time only to knock again, and this happened enoughtimes to make Ian believe she had ulterior motives.
However, given that the girl had painted herself as a fan of his, neither he nor the security guards coulddo much about her. This was already a culture among fans who went crazy for the celebrities theyloved, and most people were at a loss as to how they should be dealt with.
Cindy paused in thought. She wasn't sure if she had any constructive advice to give, and the only thingshe could offer Ian was the sage advice of being extra careful of his surroundings.
